Larry King put out promos yesterday for a Wednesday interview with Chris Brown, where the singer is dressed up as a penis (seriously dude, what's with the bow-tie?) In one of them, Chris states he doesn't remember smack smack smacking Rihanna. Of course that's not what he meant, the singer later said in a statement. Larry tricked him by asking the question over and over. Yep, because, as everyone knows, the more times you get asked a question, the harder it is to remember the correct answer. That makes perfect sense, right?

On Monday, CNN released clips, which show the "Larry King Live" host asking Brown, "Do you remember doing it?" referring to the beating of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in the early hours of February 8. Brown is heard in the clip replying, "No."

But in a statement issued to People on Monday, the singer said during the interview with King, which was attended by his attorney, Mark Geragos, and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, "That question was asked something like four or five times."

"When you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said," Brown said in his statement to the mag regarding his "no" answer.

"The first four times - or how ever many times it was - I gave the same answer - which was that I didn't think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn't fair to Rihanna. The fifth time - or whatever it was - I just misspoke. I was asked, 'Do you remember doing it?' and I said, 'No,'" Brown's statement continued.

Brown added that he does indeed remember the incident that sent Rihanna to the hospital; however, he also referred to it as "a blur."

"Of course, I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur," his statement continued. "And yes, I still can't believe it happened because it is not me or who I am." (Access Hollywood)

I'm going to have to agree with Chris here, I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to forget something like smacking around Rihanna. Also, why was Larry King asking this ridiculous question in the first place, especially multiple times? "Do you regret it?" or "Do you know why you did it?," would have been fine, but "Do you remember it?" is ridiculousness. Maybe 75-year-old Larry kept asking because he couldn't remember the event. In fact, their full conversation may have gone something like this:

Larry: So Chris, it's good for you to be here. Tell me about that night.
Chris: Thanks Larry. Well...
Larry: Hold up, refresh my memory. What happened that night?
Chris: Larry, that night was...
Larry: Which night?
Chris: The night of the incident.
Larry: What incident.
Chris: The one with Rihanna.
Larry: Who?
Chris: Rihanna.
Larry: That's great. We're going to go to commercials now, but when we come back, we're going to bring out singer Chris Brown who will talk to us about rice cakes, I think.
